Prescription Free
Michelle Mothorpe


“Over dosing and man slaughter are becoming the main problems of our society. Ever since the new enforcement of prescription drugs being no longer has went up in flames. Kids at young ages are getting the drugs and creating new ones. Taking too much is resulting in bodies on streets. Let’s rewind the clocks back, six months, to 2015, May 17 at 2:48 pm to where this chaos started.” The television then went to a sudden blur and static. The news lady shortly disappeared after that. The broadcast lost connection.
I walked over to my window to see the sky turning grey with red masochistic fires spreading in the distance. My thought was lost when I heard a holler from downstairs. As a strolled down the stairs I saw my friend Georgina holding a bottle of Adderall and saying, “want to snort some with me?” I said sure as we walked into the kitchen and I dumped the bottle of pills on the table. I crushed them up so we could snort them and enjoy the feeling. When we were getting the buzz of the drugs we went in the living room to sit on the couch. After 17 minutes the words the news lady said kept repeating in my mind. “Let’s rewind the clocks back, six months, to 2015, May 17 at 2:48 pm to where this chaos started.” I could remember the first commercial I saw about the no prescriptions anymore.
“Screams and cries for help to doctors are no longer. The pain of sickness, disorders, and anything under the sun can be cured; by just a drive in the store the purchasing of any drug at any amount is open.” My first thought that was rushing through my head was is this going to be good or was this going to blow up in our faces and turn into a disaster.
I got a call up on the phone and it was Georgina asking, “Did you hear the new enforcement?” My reply was a yes.
Three months went by and no deaths were occurring until the first over dosing death happened and society went crazy. The first overdosing death killed 12 other people. A boy was with his friends and drove to the store to get some pain killers. Not knowing much about the prescription drug the boy’s skin was turning yellow and he was throwing up. Needlessly to say the boy’s friends did think there was anything wrong with him so they aloud him to drive home. On the way home he crashed in to a bank killing 12 other people.
After these deaths people were thinking that the law would be vetoed and you had to get prescriptions again. Many people went to the store to buy and stock up on the drugs they did not need. Few days passed and the law was not vetoed. The next death killed 26 people. It was all over the news, a rich man was throwing a party, but his guests did not know that in his basement he was using prescription drugs and over the counter drugs to try and create new ones. Accidentally leaving a flame on in the basement gassic fumes hit the flame and the house ended up in ashes on the ground.
Two days after that a new report was on TV. Four kids thinking it would be fun to trip on Sudafed PE, ended up in tragedy. One kid drowned in the shower thinking he was in a pool. Another ran in front of a car thinking someone was chasing him. The third one died in his bed; smothered, thinking the walls were caving in on him. The last one died of a ceasure.
Death after deaths people kept on dying and there was no stopping to this insanity. All drugs were still available at any amount. So many people were abusing the privilege. After all this thinking my mind went blank and a felt a nuisance hitting my arm. I opened my eyes slowly to see the darkness. The sky outside turned all to ash like after a volcano eruption and all that was seen was a little red light. That little red light was the fire emerging from the house next store. I wanted to get up and run away as fast as possible but my body would not let me. I was sitting alone to my death because Georgina left me. Thoughts were rushing through my head. The first time a snorted Adderall I told my self I would only do it once because I would not end up like the people that died. I am now classified as the 784th person who died of stupidity. Death is peaceful, life is complicated. Society was not ready for this big of a change.
